- HUSSY HICKS (QUARTET): Critically acclaimed Australian act, Hussy Hicks are a tour de force featuring Leesa Gentz’ powerhouse soul vocals and Julz Parker’s revered guitar skills. Prolific and accomplished musicians, Hussy Hicks have honed their sonic dexterity over the past 12 years with five studio albums, multiple industry awards and more than 1,000 live shows under their belts, from Australia’s biggest blues, roots and folk festivals to 15 plus international tours, which now sell out across Europe.

- MINNIE MARKS : Relentlessly gigging across the globe, equipped with an old Goldtop in her hands and a revolutionary Farmer Foot Drum at her feet; Marks consistently pushes musical limits with her mind-blowing, dynamic guitar wizardry and her insanely powerful voice, that roars out her truth through song as if her own life depended on it.

- KALIOPI & THE BLUES MESSENGERS (QUINTET): Drawing from the rich Delta blues tradition of powerful blueswomen with Chicago guitar pioneer influences, “Kaliopi sings with passion as she howls and moans as she plays some sizzling guitar” Blues Blast Magazine Senior writer Steve Jones, president of the Crossroads Blues Society USA. Finalists in Melbourne Blues Appreciation Societies Annual Blues Challenge & Awarded VICTAS 'Emerging Artist' for their current second album, "The Devil's Voodoo Curse”

- STELLA ANNING (Trio): Launching her 3rd Album in 2024, Stella performed at Bluesfest with Women of Soul. She has also performed with Guy Sebastian, C.W. Stoneking, Sarah Blasko, and Clare Bowditch, to name a few.
